and to answer the question : those relationships took place in a different time and a different context.
there are things that one would do in 1960 that would not be prudent in 2010.
Bully. That's a lame excuse. What's makes the times different, and why? What does the different eras of time have to do with anything?
So IR relationships are OK if you were fighting against racial segregation of the time?
Reminds me of black nationalist men who insisted that screwing white women was a way to fight white racial oppression, while black women screwing white men was not.
That's sexist, subversive, and a lame excuse at trying to control the sexuality of black people, especially black women.
I won't hear of it.
And you... of all people... condoning IR's just because they were of a different time or era?
What happened to 'Who you date is political' and 'IR's make people crazy'
That's a contrary notion.
